Criminal justice clients in New Boston, MO. make their way into drug rehab centers because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or found to be high on drugs. Some judges put these convicted individuals into the drug and alcohol rehabilitation system mainly due to the fact that they consider that treating these individuals is more helpful for society and for the individual, rather than placing them in prison with no treatment at all. This has been proven to be quite workable not only in helping and rehabilitating this type of client in New Boston, MO., but also in helping them remain abstinent and in many instances out of the criminal justice system for good.
